BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal composition having a high voltage holding ratio, better anti-UV properties and high temperature reliability, and a large maximum absolute transmittance, and a liquid crystal display device containing the liquid crystal composition, especially a transmissive liquid crystal display device.

Description of Related Art

Liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are used in many fields of information display, including a direct-view display and a projection type display.

According to the type of a light source, LCD devices are divided into a reflection type using natural light, a transmission type using backlight, and a semi-transmission type using natural light and back light.

According to the type of a display mode, LCD devices are divided into PC (phase change), TN (twist nematic), STN (super twisted nematic), ECB (electrically controlled birefringence), OCB (optically compensated bend), IPS (in-plane switching), VA (vertical alignment), and other types. An element operating in a TN or STN mode uses a positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal, an element operating in an ECB or VA mode uses a negative dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal, and an element operating in an IPS mode uses a positive or negative dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal.

With technological advances, increasing demands have been placed upon the performance of display devices, such as nearly perfect display effect, large dielectric constant, low power consumption, high contrast, short response time, and long lifetime etc., which also requires continuous improvement in performance parameters of liquid crystal materials.

A liquid crystal composition having a large absolute value of dielectric anisotropy can reduce a base voltage value of an LCD device, reduce a drive voltage, and thus reduce electric power consumption.

A liquid crystal composition having low viscosity can increase the response speed of an LCD device. When the response speed is fast, the LCD device is suitable for animation display. Additionally, when the liquid crystal composition is injected into a liquid crystal cell of the LCD device, the injection time can be reduced, thus improving operability.

A transmissive liquid crystal display device adjusts the transmitance of backlight through liquid crystal molecules to achieve the display effect, and a large optical transmitance is a sought-after characteristic of an LCD device. A greater brightness and a higher contrast can be obtained by increasing the maximum optical transmitance. In an environment of strong light (such as sunlight), a liquid crystal screen will whiten, and the content in the liquid crystal screen cannot be clearly seen. In this case, by increasing the brightness of the screen, the displayed content can be more clearly exhibited.

In addition, the UV stability and thermal stability of a liquid crystal composition are associated with the lifetime of an LCD device. Increasing the UV stability and thermal stability of a liquid crystal composition can prolong the lifetime of an LCD device.

Thus, those skilled in the art have strived to increase the maximum optical transmitance, UV stability and thermal stability through optimization of a liquid crystal material.

Liquid crystal compositions having low power consumption and short response time have been disclosed in the prior art, as in CN102858918A. However, the compositions in the prior art suffer from problems such as being environmentally unfriendly (e.g., use of a chlorine-containing compound), short service life (e.g., poor UV or thermal stability), and low contrast (e.g., whiting of a display screen in sunlight), and cannot achieve a good compromise between a suitable optical anisotropy, a suitable dielectric anisotropy, a high voltage holding ratio, UV stability and high temperature stability required by LCD TVs and tablet PCs and the like.

From the perspective of preparation of a liquid crystal material, the properties of the liquid crystal material affect each other and improvement of a performance indicator may result in changes in other performance indicators. Therefore, preparing a liquid crystal material having all suitable properties often requires creative efforts.

A liquid crystal material is an important component of an LCD, and there is currently a large market demand for LCDs worldwide, where they are mostly used in electronic and electrical products, which have a short life cycle. The short life cycle naturally causes wastes and contamination, and in the case where environmental protection is receiving much attention today, if sources can be controlled, that is, environmentally friendly raw materials are selected in formulating a liquid crystal material, the environmental cost caused by disposal of waste LCDs can be greatly reduced. Therefore, preparing an economic and environmentally friendly liquid crystal material having all suitable properties often requires creative efforts.

The present invention utilizes a saturated alkyl neutral monomer to increase the reliability of liquid crystal, achieving a high voltage holding ratio, better UV stability, and a higher maximum absolute transmittance. In addition, the present invention uses no chlorine containing monomers to achieve the technical effect of being environmentally friendly, and increases the contents of neutral and neutral and polar monomers to remedy the problem of reduced dielectric constant and clearing point.

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition which has properties such as a large maximum absolute transmittance, a high voltage holding ratio, better anti-UV properties, and high temperature reliability, and has a suitable optical anisotropy, a suitable dielectric anisotropy, and a relatively high clearing point, and is environmentally friendly. Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device, especially a transmissive liquid crystal display device, which has a large maximum absolute transmittance, a high voltage holding ratio, good anti-UV properties, and high temperature reliability and is environmentally friendly.
